イザヤ書 3:2-3 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-8

The prophet, in the close of the foregoing chapter, had given a necessary caution to all not to put confidence in man, or any creature; he had also given a general reason for that caution, taken from the frailty of human life and the vanity and weakness of human powers. Here he gives a particular reason for it?God was now about to ruin all their creature-confidences, so that they should meet with nothing but disappointments in all their expectations from them (Isa. 3:1): The stay and the staff... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:2

The mighty man, and man of war ,.... The meaning is either that these should die in war, as thousands of them did; or that men fit to be generals of armies should be removed by death before this time, so that they should have none to go out with their armies, and meet the enemy: the judge and the prophet ; there should be none to sit upon the bench, and administer justice to the people in civil affairs, and to determine causes relating to life and death; and none to instruct them in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:3

The captain of fifty ,.... A semi-centurion, such an one as in 2 Kings 1:9 . So far should there be from being captains of thousands, and of hundreds, that there should not be one of fifty: and the honourable man ; by birth, breeding, and behaviour, through riches and greatness; and one of power and authority among the people, and in their favour and esteem: and the counsellor ; one able to give advice in matters of moment and difficulty, and in controversy between man and man; it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-7

GOD 'S JUDGMENT UPON JERUSALEM . The general denunciations against Israel of the two preceding chapters are here turned especially against Jerusalem. God will deprive her of all her superior and more honorable classes ( Isaiah 3:1-3 ); and will give her "children" for her rulers ( Isaiah 3:4 ). There will be continued oppression, and the rise of an insolent and undutiful spirit ( Isaiah 3:5 ). Those fit to bear rule will refuse to do so ( Isaiah 3:6 , Isaiah 3:7 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-7

Many steps in the decay of states. Ruin does not often come on states at once, even when God has determined on it. There are many steps in the fall of a great nation. I. CESSATION OF A SUCCESSION OF GREAT AND WISE MEN . ( Isaiah 3:2 , Isaiah 3:3 .) One of the first marks of decay is a falling off in this succession. When the intervals between one great man and another lengthen; when wise men, capable of giving the state good counsel, grow rare; when mediocrity... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-8

National and spiritual anarchy. We have a vivid picture here of— I. NATIONAL ANARCHY . 1. Its cause is found in national rebellion against its rightful Lord. "Their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory" ( Isaiah 3:8 ). Sin, both in word and deed, draws down the righteous indignation of God, and, under his just administration, the penalty of iniquity is paid. 2. Its signs are seen in: 3. Its issue . ( Isaiah 3:8 .)... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:2

The mighty man, and the man of war ; or, hero and warrior . The first rank is given to those distinguished in war, as being held in the highest esteem, and perhaps as actually, under the coming circumstances, the men of most importance to the country. It is thus implied, as later ( Isaiah 3:25 , Isaiah 3:26 ) it is expressly taught, that the impending visitation will be a terrible invasion. The judge, and the prophet ; literally, judge and prophet . The judge holds his place as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:3

The captain of fifty . "Captains of fifties" were scarcely at this period "civil officers" (Cheyne). They represent simply the lowest grade of officers in the army ( 2 Kings 1:9 , 2 Kings 1:11 , 2 Kings 1:13 ). Honorable . The same expression is used again in Isaiah 9:15 . It occurs also in 2 Kings 5:1-27 . I and Job 22:8 . The cunning artificer . "All the craftsmen and smiths" in Jerusalem were carried away by Nebuchadnezzar in the captivity of Jehoiachin ( 2 Kings 24:14 ;... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 3:2

The mighty man - The hero, The idea expressed is not simply that of personal strength and prowess, but the higher one of military eminence or heroism. “Prof. Alexander.” This was fully accomplished in the time of Nebuchadnezzar; 2 Kings 24:14.And the prudent - This word in the original - קסם qosēm - means properly “a diviner,” or a “soothsayer.” But it is sometimes used in a good sense; see Proverbs 16:10, “margin.” The Chaldee understands it of a man “who is consulted,” or whose opinion is... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 3:3

The captain of fifty - By this was probably denoted an officer in the army. The idea is, that the commanders of the various divisions of the army should be taken away.The honourable man - Hebrew פנים נשׂוּא nes'û' pânı̂ym. “The man of elevated countenance.” That is, the man high in office. He was so called from the aspect of dignity which a man in office would assume. In the previous chapter, the phrase is used to denote rather the “pride” which attended such officers, than the dignity of the... read more
